You calculate the Body Mass Index using the height and weight of the child. Body mass index is defined as the individual's body weight divided by the square of their height. The formulas universally used in medicine produce a unit of measure of kg/m2. Body mass index may be accurately calculated using either of the formulas below.

BMI = weight (kg) / height² (m²)

BMI = weight (lb) * 703 / height² (in²)

BMI = weight (lb) * 4.88 / height² (ft²)

The body mass index graph is given there.  From the graph given in the site & with the height and weight, you can find out whether the child is Underweight, Normal, Overweight or Obese
